A typical golf course requires 100,000 to 1,000,000 gallons (378.5 m3 to 3,785 m3) of water per week in summer to maintain healthy vegetation. Improving the water efficiency usually requires proper scheduling of the irrigation and improving irrigation uniformity.ll these issues can lead to excessive water use, especially where the golf course is located in regions with arid climates. Turf requires an average of 25 to 60 inches (63.5 cm to 152.4 cm) of water annually, depending on climate, to maintain a healthy appearance.
The water district earlier this month approved spending up to $71 million to buy water from nine districts in the Sacramento Valley. An acre-foot of water is almost 326,000 gallons of water, enough for two Southern California households for a year. The offer is a hard one to turn down for farmers like Tennis, who also sits on the Western Canal Water District Board. Farmers can make around $900 an acre, after costs, growing rice, Tennis said.
